Good evening, thanks for popping back! Here is my DT card for Moving Along With The Times . My design team mate Nicki has come up with such a great sketch and theme this week. You can make a baby, young child or christening card, or anything for a little person.

Hello peeps, yes it has been a while since my last post. Feel sorry for me please, I have been up to my neck in housework! I didnt know just how much mess, three girls can make! So I have had a bit of a spring clean, which hasn't left me much time for crafting, boo hoo! Well, today I had enough, I put down the duster and made this card to enter in the Whiff of Joy challenge. Bev has done a great sketch, I really loved using it and will again.

I also steered away from my beloved Copic's and reached for the ink pads, which I have used with a paintbrush and water. I then raided my stash and box and found these beautiful papers, so have been really good and not used anything new today. I had a real clear out over the weekend, and have such a big box of stamps, paper packs, embellishments and stickers, that I must put on Ebay, so watch this space if you want to pick up a bargain or three!

Moving Along With The Times Challenge # 34

For my MAWTT card, I have chosen the theme of 'Mum', can be for a Mum, Mum in Law, Mum to be, Godmother or Mother figure, so lots of anything feminine! Our sponsor is 'Little Claire Designs' and there are two fab ones up for grabs if you enter and win the challenge.

Hello, hope your half term is whizzing like mine? Have managed to fit this challenge in today, inbetween taking Georgia and her friend shopping and out for the afternoon. Then it's pizza and pancakes tonight, lol!

It's another great sketch over at Sketch & Stash Challenge . It's great to use up all of your unwanted bits and bobs. I raided mine and even found this lovely Penny Black stamp 'Cinnamon' that has never been used. There is a $15 voucher from Whimsy Stamps on offer as the prize this week, and the DT cards are just beautiful!

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you all have been lurved up today? I have been spoilt again by the lovely hubs. Crafty bits, two dvd's, a large red rose and breakfast in bed and am being taken out for dinner tommorrow, I am a lucky girl!

Another great challenge over at Allsorts . This week the theme is '3 - 2 - 1, a recipe with a difference', for example, I have used 3 - different papers, 2 - different pieces of coloured Bazzill and 1 - flower stamp.

My card recipe : Sassafras and Making Memories papers, Pink & Blue Bazzill Cardstock, my image is from 'Miss Anya Dressy', SU flower and sentiment stamps, SU Scallop punch and Kaisercraft turquoise bling stones. I have paper pieced her dress using the Sassafras paper and have coloured her in using Copic Ciao's. I have edged the image using my MS flourish punch.

Am baking lots of cakes tommorrow with the girls, we have a busy half-term planned with lots of friends coming round, so am hoping to get some ME time this week, lol! Have a lovely week and thanks for stopping by, hugs Heidi xxx

Hello, sorry I haven't blogged or blog hopped for a while, I have been suffering from the flu, am on the mend today but am slightly late in sharing my DT cards with you for Moving Along With The Times and Willow Sketchie challenges. Moving Along With The Times Challenge # 33

Over at MAWTT, it's the turn of my dear chum Hazel, she has come up with a real stunner of a sketch and the theme of 'Cute Companions'. So any little cute images, ie, Daisy & Dandelion, Penny Black, Popcorn Bear etc ..... it's up to you, just follow the sketch and join in!

We have two prizes on offer this week, firstly a set of Special Edition Daisy & Dandelion stamps and secondly, some D & D decoupage sheets, all kindly donated by The Glitter Pot.

I decided to use this cute little image from Penny Black and have made a valentine's card for my lovely hubs who will be home from his travels over the weekend. I am so excited, as he has found a large craft shop whilst he has been away, and has brought me some goodies for Valentine's day, better than any choccies or roses, lol!

You have until next Wednesday, 17th February at 8pm to enter our challenge, you can enter by email as well, if you don't yet have a blog.

Good afternoon, I can't believe that Sunday has come around again! Have had such a busy week, mainly due to my little bubby Georgia being poorly with Viral Tonsilitus. she is on the mend and should be going back to school tommorrow, thanks to everyone who has sent her get-well messages, it was lovely of you all!

Here is my entry for Allsorts Challenge . The theme this week is 'Distressed with Buttons and a bow'. I decided to not use a stamp for my card, I have been neglecting my Cuttlebug bits and this butterfly is just beautiful! There are some lovely stamps and ribbons up for grabs this week, so do pop on over and take a look at the lovely DT cards.

My card is a new take on a tri-shutter card and I have taken three different pictures so that you can see it up close. I have started off with distressing all of the edges and inking them using my Momento brown inkpad. I have used some brown and khaki Bazzill cardstock. Kaisercraft 'Dancing Jewel - Amethyst' paper. QK Scallop die cut shapes in two sizes. Cuttlebug Butterfly, Kaisercraft flowers, bling and pearls. Ribbon from Amercian Crafts. Buttons and ink pad from stash.

Have had a wonderful day crafting with Georgia, got visited by my bruv and now have to go cook Roast Beef with all of the trimmings yum! Enjoy the rest of your day, love and hugs Heidi xxx

Good afternoon, hope your day has been fun? Mine has been spent looking after Georgia who has a bad cold, we have watched loads of DVD's so am glad of the break to upload my DT challenge cards.

The first is for Moving Along With The Times . Our theme this week is 'Childhood Memories', which our lovely Clare has thought of, the DT have made some stunners again, so do pop on over to take a look! I have used some ice-cream coloured striped paper from Papermania that reminded me of childhood days out at the seaside, so when I found this little CC Designs image, it all came together. Doodlebug ribbon, Hero Arts sentiment, Kaisercraft bling and a scallop Nestibility. Flowers and brad from stash.

We have two prizes on offer this week, the lucky winner will win a Guest DT spot and some digi images from Tracy at Crafty Catz . So go find your images or decoupage, whatever you want to use, that reminds you of your childhood and let us have your creations by 8pm on Wednesday 10th February.

To my Willow Sketchie Challenge card. I have used the fab new downloads from Sharon called 'Alfie'. It comes in three colourways, with papers to match. I couldn't make my mind up which colours to use, so have used all of them, lol! I have made another tri-fold card using Bazzill cardstock in light pink, lemon and lime. Papershaper flower punches in two sizes, Craftwork cards sentiment and Kaisercraft bling stones.
